i will literally give $1000 to anyone who can tell me why trans women are real women without saying “because they said so”
ALL Women ARE Women.
Read the National Geographic special issue on Gender. There’s whole articles on this with the sources and everything included in there but I’ll sum up for you:
People (by which I mean actual scientists who are qualified to do this) did studies on how people’s brains are formed/shaped. Male and female brains show various slight differences. They are distinguishable.
Now here’s where it gets interesting. They looked at scans of transgender people’s brains. What do you think they found?
They found that their brains most closely followed the patterns of the gender that they said they were rather than the gender they were assigned.
Get that?
So if a woman was assigned male at birth because she had a penis and they scanned her brain, they found her to have the brain shape expected in a woman. It wasn’t exactly the same but it was clearly much closer to female than to male.
Once those people started hormone therapy and everything, the brain shape grew even closer to the gender they said they were (the gender that they ARE) until it was pretty much identical. You couldn’t tell the difference except yep, that’s a female brain now regardless of whether she was assigned male at birth.
It is thought to be this that causes dysphoria in the transgender people who suffer it: since their brain is a female brain (or vice versa) making them female it causes a disconnect between that and what their eyes see when they look at their body.
So there ya are. Science proves transgender people are the damn gender they say they are.
Can I have my $1000 dollars now or do you wanna pay it to the National Geographic so they can keep up this education, I don’t mind which?
Give this person their $1000
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your submission in our National Geographic article contest. Unfortunately your article “God Doesn’t Exist Because Ted 2 Does” cannot be accepted as a legitimate scientific article. Furthermore, all submissions must be at least 2-5 pages long. Instead you only provided one line. “No merciful god would ever subject his creations to such cruelty.” Once again, not a legitimate scientific inquiry. We apologize if we were unclear about what we were looking for, and wish you the best of luck in any further ventures. Thank you
Fox News has always been bad - an obvious, racist, sexist, lying kind of bad - but they’ve taken it to a whole new level of irresponsible journalism this week. The next poll will show that most Fox News viewers think Hillary Clinton actually won the election because they physically can’t stop talking about her as if she is actually running the country.
They really can’t deal with the fact that she almost made it. They really can’t deal with the reality that even though they won, their president is making a complete fool out of all of us on the world stage. They don’t know what to do about the reality that Republicans are divided and Trump is an unstable leader, so they’ve invented their own reality where Hillary won and Democrats are the ones having all the problems, giving them the freedom to act like they have a platform to stand on when they’re really shouting conspiracy theories at us from a hole they dug themselves into 8 years ago.
I mean, I don’t like carrot sticks either, but this is just ridiculous.
Fox “News” promoted a video of kids singing about how they were starving as a result of Michelle Obama calling for schools to serve more veggies.
But the Parkland kids are “crisis actors.”
That shit was flat out embarrassing.
You cannot kill someone with a tomato.
Unless the cafeteria food fight got particularly vicious and it was a hard tomato, I suppose.
Really all I was irritated about was that they took way the salt packets, so my fires were bland.
But the honey mustard made everything alright.
Leon: You know what I love most about foxes? Their sense of humor.
Fox: -wags tail-
Leon: Haha. Classic fox.
-I didn’t see it
-It got eaten
-I’m still replying it just takes me a while to think of what to say
-I couldn’t think of what to say but I still appreciate it
-You sent anon hate and that gets blocked
Literally not because:
-I don’t like you
-I don’t appreciate the message
-You were being stupid
Ok?
This is the most accurate post.
-I’M ON MOBILE AND WAITING UNTIL I HAVE MY LAPTOP TO DO MESSAGES (sorry to interrupt but that’s usually my case!)
IF YOU’RE NOT EXPERIENCING PERIOD CRAMPS RIGHT NOW PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THAT MERCY YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN. APPRECIATE THE AMOUNT OF PAIN THAT YOU COULD BE IN RIGHT NOW, BUT AREN’T. THANK YOUR GOD, THANK YOUR HIGHER POWER, THANK YOUR COUSIN. A TIME OF NO CRAMPS IS A TIME TO REJOICE AND I BEG YOU TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT WHILE YOU CAN
destroy media’s idea of asian girls being petite, pale-skinned waifs with bobbed hair and blunt bangs who are either the quiet fighter or a submissive giggly teen
destroy the fetishizing and infantilizing of asian girls
but at the same time appreciate asian girls who are like that, but appreciate them for themselves and not for some weird stereotypical fetish whatsit exoticism.
Allow Asian girls to be themselves at all costs.
I wonder how much schoolwork I can do today. Maybe I’ll finish the whole program.
